Colonel Kosterlitzky, of Bavispe, was

count of the terrible sufferings there.
The Mexican Government recently
sent plenty of provisions, bat the poo
pie are destitute of clothing. What
few houses we're constructed month
ago are all destroyed by severe
shocks. 1t is now feared that pneu-
monia will set in. Formerly much
land was cultivated in the vicinity of
the city of Bavispe, but now mono
whatever. Many have left. but with
nothing save few personal effects.
Refuge Hill is
COVERED WITH SNOW
And dotted with sod and grass sham
ties filed with shivering human be-
ings. The thermometer is often below
zero. Shocks are frequent. No new
riffs have been opened, but large
boulders shaken from the hills crash
Il rough the valleys, destroying every
thing in their track.
Small bands of Apache Indians are
also dep edating in the vicinity, kill
ing people and running off stock.
During the last three weeks four men
have been
KILLED By INDIANS.
At present q small party of soldiers
are camped on Refuge Hill, bat they
are compelled to send guards to chop
wood for the camp. Among the
Apaches are three bucks, one the f.
nous Elias, who escaped at tho time
was captured. ] lias and
his four squaws have been seen several
